The market's momentum clearly slowed over the last several days with the S&P topping out on an intraday basis just five points above Monday's peak. While down two days in a row, the action has been choppy/consolidative with no short term negative signals generated despite the extended technical posture. Clearly the market is waiting for the jobs data. If we see a modest improvement and early gains will be watching the previously noted resistance zone (1007-1014) to see if any signs of a possible developing short term pause form. Near term supports are at 991/990 and 982/981.
